“…These groups are characteristic of latex and play a significant role in determining the properties and applications of latex materials. Many investigations showed that the existence of the stated functional groups in plant latex is caused by a complex mixture of substances, including proteins, alkaloids, sterols, fatty acids, starches, sugars, glycolipids, gums, and enzymes (Eid et [27][28][29][30][31]62 Therefore, the functional group analysis of mulberry lattices indicated the presence of bioactive secondary metabolites, which can be correlated with the results of GC−MS. Different techniques are used to measure antioxidant activity, but the most popular ones are those that produce free radical species that are then neutralized by antioxidant agents.…”

In order to find the most advantageous bioactive compounds from mulberry latex for drug development in the near future, this study was conducted to characterize and evaluate antioxidant and antimicrobial properties from four different mulberry lattices (BR-2, S-1, AR-14, and S-146). The characterization of the lattices was performed by scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, gas chromatography coupled to mass spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Further, screenings of the antioxidant and antimicrobial potential of selected lattices were performed in vitro using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl assay and agar well diffusion methods, respectively. Interestingly, the outcome of the current study revealed that tested mulberry lattices contain a considerable amount of bioactive phytoconstituents, particularly antimicrobial and antioxidant compounds, as revealed by chromatographic analysis. BR-2 latex was found to have significant antioxidant activity (75%) followed by S-146 (64.6%) and AR-14 (52.9%). The maximum antimicrobial activity was found in BR-2 latex compared to other tested latex varieties. The results of this investigation showed that mulberry latex from the BR-2 type may successfully control both bacterial and fungal infections, with the added benefit of having enhanced antioxidant capabilities.
